Changed Quote by Billy Squier
“I'm older, wiser and richer, and I still have just as many headaches. It hasn't changed me drastically; certainly, not in terms of relationships.

And we know each other well enough to know it isn't the quantity of time you spend together, it's the quality.”

Before then [these?], any man might instantly use what another had invented; so that the inventor had no special advantage from his own invention.
